Well, unfortunately, the last person used heater hose instead of vacuum hose, so it's not correct to begin with.

Can anyone tell me the size of the vacuum hose between the brake booster and the vacuum canister, as well as the hose between the manifold and the canister? This is on a 1958 Imperial. -Gregg B.

Can you show me where you ran the cable for the remote mirror through the firewall and rear of fender?

Can anyone show me the route for the cables through the inner fender and into the cabin on a '58 Chrysler or Imperial? Photos would be optimal.

Did Mopar cars even have a remote outside mirror in 1958? While doing some research, I cannot confirm this. It looks like the remote outside drivers funder-mount mirror did not debut until 1959 (fall of '58 for '59 models). -Gregg B.

I'm looking for a set of wire wheels and tires for a stock '58 Imperial. The wire wheels would be the classic-looking Chrysler style wire wheels with spinners. I'm thinking getting 15", even though the original wheels are 14". Or, is that a bad idea? Also, I may want to go with a new modern...

I'm looking for a source to decode the "fender tag" on '57-'59 Chryslers and Imperials. Is there something available out there? -Gregg B.

I got the new 800cfm AVS2 installed and I will say it is a noticeable improvement over the stock Carter (750 cfm). It definitely has better throttle response, albeit some of that can be attributed to the properly working accelerator pump. It was almost plug-and-play, with some adjustments made...

Everything I have been reading from Edelbrock, including online and in the manual, says to NOT connect the choke to the alternator. ran a wire to the fuse block, connecting to one of the fuses not being used (radio, in my case).

Thanks, guys. I'll do some driving around/testing tomorrow when I have time. Anyone know the best place to wire in the electric choke? I've heard some plug into the ballast resistor. However, I'm not sure that a good idea. I'm going to try to find someplace on the fuseblock.

Car is a '68 Imperial with a 440. Instead or rebuilding the original carb, I decided to change to an Edelbrock AVS2. I believe I have everything set up correctly, as it runs and idles great. I still have to hook up the electric choke, but I will try to find a place at the fuse box under the...

I forget the correct nomenclature. I would guess it's more of a "hesitation". When you accelerate from a stop, the engine acts like it is going to stall for a second, then works fine, especially if you let off the gas a little.

One more thing... I think I may just go to a new Edelbrock carb, as I was thinking doing that next year anyway. Is it your opinion that the AVS2 is better than the Performer AFB? Maybe it just doesn't really make a difference for a big c-body anyway. Since I currently have a 750 cfm Carter on it...

The last time I replaced an accelerator pump with one from Napa, the thing failed within a couple hundred miles. The valve material on the assembly looked like it was made of dried out leather. I thought a modern one from Edelbrock would work better.

Here is a little tidbit... has anyone ever replaced the original accelerator pump in a Carter with a new one from Edelbrock:

Yeah... I was told that. Apparently, the original Holley carb was replaced at the dealer in '69. Any idea what the cfm is for this Carter?

Isn't the AVS2 a spreadbore carb, and the AFB the squarebore? Wouldn't you need to get some type of adapter to use the AVS on the stock '68 440 manifold? -Gregg B.

Fuel tank was boiled out/cleaned like 6 years ago. New sending unit was installed at that time as well.
